I love to fish! Started with my dad till I was in Jr High in North Dakota Catchin bullheads then when we moved to Iowa my choices broaden to some others but mostly bank fishin and night fishing for walleye while you were wading out from shore till the water nearly came over. Then I became a fly fisherman and that was how I fished until I moved to Idaho from South Dakota still fly fishing but started using a canoe and progressed to float tubes. Started to broaden the methods of taking fish to spinning so had multiple rods with me on the a pontoon much gear and a 50# thrust trolling motor. Mostly chasing the walleye but very intrigued by crappie and perch. Still loving bluegill on the fly road!
Finally got sort of consistent for walleye with the fly rod. Then I reintroduced my self to ice fishing which has now become a real passion! Hoping on a possible trophy perch from Cascade or crappie or catfish through the ice. Then I purchased a small boat which grew into a bigger boat a 15' Gregor which is now all gadgeted up with many options for fishing with preferences in a varying order of crappie, perch, walleye, bass, catfish on a spinner, blue gill (still prefer the float tube here), trout (want to learn how to use my downrigger gear which has never gotten wet) and some day a sturgeon.
I am attempting to visit and fish as many of the fishable waters I can in the state of Idaho but the real progress in this endeavor probably won't be for another couple of years when LORD willing I can retire for a time.
